FAQs for Weedon
How do I find out if my home in Weedon is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you work in Weedon?
Yes. We cover Weedon and the rest of Buckinghamshire, as part of our work across London and the South East. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Chimney surveys for homes and businesses in Weedon
We inspect chimneys from wherever they can safely be seen: the ground, nearby windows and higher points, and the roof space where it’s safe. A drone inspection is part of our Premium Survey where applicable. If we can’t see part of the stack, the report makes that clear. Each defect is recorded with a photo and a plain description. We survey lead flashings, shared and party-wall stacks and chimney breasts, and common reasons people get in touch are lifted or split lead flashings and spalled or crumbling bricks.
Somewhere as small as Weedon, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Where we cannot see part of the chimney stack, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What we’re asked to look at in Weedon
Lots of homes have redundant stacks. A stack sealed without ventilation can trap damp. That can lead to damp patches on chimney breasts, even with the roof in good order.
Common reasons to book include:
- Loose, cracked or missing pots
- Redundant stacks capped without ventilation
- Staining on walls around the chimney
- Bricks with flaking faces
Take an older house close to Old School Room Chapel: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- What they will not be able to tell you

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Weedon
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Shop and office owners around Friars Square may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Take a building like Old School Room Chapel: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so.

Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Leave close inspection to people with safe access
- Use the report as a baseline for future checks
- Check fixings on the stack are secure
- Have the flue swept and checked if you use the fire
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each stack. It covers the pots, flaunching, pointing, brickwork and flashings, and any damp we found inside. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Unused stacks should be capped in a way that still lets air through. Ventilation helps keep the stack dry.
For landlords and managing agents
Landlords and agents in Weedon book surveys as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the chimney stack, useful for planning maintenance.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Why get it checked now?
If you’re buying, find out about the stacks before you exchange. After that, any work is yours to arrange and pay for. A report gives you something specific to put to the seller. Around Weedon, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Chimney survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

What we look for on each type of roof
Rendered stacks
A rendered stack can mask problems in the bricks below. We look for cracks, hollow areas and staining.
Flaunching
We often find flaunching that has cracked or broken away. It’s typically a modest repair when it is caught early.
